![]() National Geographic Explorer Darcy Ogada is involved in several conservation efforts related to vulture species in Africa. Other threats to the African vulture population include trade of vulture meat, use of vultures in medicine, and accidents involving power lines and wind turbines, an indicator that bird-friendly designs might be needed for implementation of renewable energy infrastructure in these areas. In more nefarious circumstances, poachers use these poisons on carcasses to purposefully target vultures so that they will not flock around the carcass of an illegally hunted animal. Herders poison carcasses to ward off predators such as lions, which pose a threat to livestock, but vultures are the more common victim. Now, the African vulture population is on a decline, in part, because of incidental toxin exposure, but also because of intentional poisoning. India has since banned diclofenac, but it is still legal in other countries-Spain, for example-where it may still threaten vultures. Some studies estimated a decline in more than 90 percent of the Indian vulture population as a result of the use of this bovine veterinary drug. Because many birds can flock to and consume one cow carcass, each dead cow that had been recently treated with diclofenac could poison many vultures. More recently, in the 1990s, widespread use of the cattle medication, diclofenac, dramatically reduced the vulture population in India. Conservation efforts are under way and have been effective, but the California condor is still considered one of the rarest birds on Earth. The vultures fed on remnants of animals field-dressed by hunters (removing a killed animal's internal organs), and the carrion frequently contained bullet fragments, which were made from toxic lead that killed the avian consumers. In the United States, the California condor population, a group of vultures whose wingspans can measure up to three meters (just inches short of 10 feet), was reduced to only 22 individuals in the 1980s because of accidental poisoning. Many vulture deaths stemming from toxins are preventable, and sometimes these deaths result from purposeful poisoning. ![]() What is poisoning vultures? Vultures are present on five continents, and their well-being is threatened by toxins on at least three. Sadly, some toxins are still deadly to these scavengers, and such substances are responsible for the majority of vulture deaths over the last 40 years-a trend that has landed most vulture species on the endangered list. ![]() ![]() Vultures, which exclusively eat dead animal carcasses, are particularly effective at removing pathogens and toxins in the environment because they rapidly consume carrion before it decays, and their stomachs contain an incredibly potent acid that destroys many of the harmful substances found in dead animals. Scavengers eliminate these harmful substances from the environment, mitigating the spread of disease that may otherwise impact local food webs and potentially harm human health and the economy. For example, if left to thrive in a carcass, bacteria and other pathogens may spread within the local environment and infect other animals, including livestock and humans. By consuming dead animals, called carrion, scavengers remove dead carcasses from the environment-a valuable service that goes well beyond environmental aesthetics. However, the research community has become increasingly aware of the critical role scavenging plays in the stability of ecosystems and food webs.

![]() Talk to your printer and mailing house when planning your campaign for production suggestions. Understand who is in your audience – what are the demographics of the new homeowners? This information may influence your design. ![]() In the example above, you might purchase a list from a broker to reach new homeowners within a certain distance from your practice. This goes back to your goals and strategy. ![]() It’s important to keep these goals in mind when creating the piece, to ensure it fulfills its purpose.įor example, if you’re sending out a postcard to all new homeowners in a particular neighborhood to tell them about your veterinary practice with the goal of increasing your client base by 30%, this goal will help you decide how to design the piece. If you’re doing a direct mail piece, you’ve selected that tactic as part of a strategy to reach a goal. We’ll touch on these additional elements briefly, as they relate to design. Goals, strategy, audience, budget, and copy are all important elements of creating direct mail pieces, but for this post, we’ll focus mainly on design. But at the end of the day, the numbers speak for themselves : direct mailings are an important part of creating a company’s most effective marketing campaigns.ħ Key Considerations For Designing Direct Mail Pieces This is especially true when applying this emotional connection with one of the most important demographic markets: Millennials. It is perhaps this emotional attribute attached to direct marketing that makes it most valuable. And from that same article, we find that a study conducted in the UK found that 57% of respondents felt that postcard mailings created a more authentic relationship and made them feel valued. A 2017 Forbes Magazine article cites a Direct Marketing Association’s study that found a 4.4% response rate for direct mail in comparison to 0.12% for email. This familiar marketing platform has reliably seen both a much higher rate of response and a continued sense of trust in consumers. While the perception may be that it ‘ s influence would be waning in the digital 21st century, it is precisely because of the proliferation of digital marketing that direct mail is so powerful.
![]() Tell us a little more about yourself and your background in the industry? Bigger companies require greater facilities. We see the passion played out on our social media outlets, trade shows and in the gyms and if it wasn't for that consumer passion, we wouldn't be here today.īSN has come a long way from distributing its products out of the back of a small supplement store in Delray Beach, Florida. One of the great aspects of this brand is that we have fans who are just as passionate and fanatic as our employees are. We did it because we believed in the products and what the company stood for (and still do today) and we wanted people to have the same experience and passion for the brand as we do. Hell, some of us even worked for free in the beginning just to be a part of the brand. The employees took the company on their backs and bled BSN Red, morning, noon, and night. The most important people who helped the brand in the beginning are obviously the consumers who believed in the brand before the brand was well known. There is no one person who I would call out and acknowledge as being the most important because it was really a combination of people that drove success. ![]() Who are some important people who helped you in the beginning? What was their role? The original owners set out to change the standard of what supplements should be and I think they did a great job of it. They wanted to provide the most unique and effective formulas to provide the best possible experience for the consumers looking for real results from their supplementation. The top-selling products in the marketplace at the time were antiquated formulas that didn't deliver on big promises being made to consumers. The founders were unhappy with the lack of any real product innovation in the marketplace so they decided to make their own products. What made you decide to start your own supplement company?

Below is my very first on camera experience with Bluprint representing the paper flower magnet for Michaels. This was the very start of a partnership that would change my life. I mean, sure, my following is not very large on Instagram/Facebook or Pinterest… but my projects are too grand? A couple of days later, the program director emailed me telling me about an influencer who needed 1. The response was to the tone of, “you are not a good fit for the Michael’s Maker’s program because of the scale of your projects and your social media following.” I was devastated and a little upset. “No,” was the best answer I could have ever hoped for When I asked why, the response I received was the best thing that could have ever of happened to me and my career.
